Chapter 421: The Tragic Equipment Recovery Team (Page 1/1)
Weapons are such a thing, if the gap is small, it can be filled, but the situation in front of Takeda Masayuki is that there are nearly forty people without guns, and he really can't think of any other solution except for the method that the brigade adjutant came up with.
These heavy soldiers who usually only used bayonets and even wooden sticks have the courage to sacrifice themselves for the emperor, and no matter what Takeda does, he must let these soldiers get guns that can kill the enemy, otherwise he is sorry for the "enthusiasm" of serving the country in seven lives. ”
In the same way, if the basic rifles and combat weapons are not fully matched, in the offensive phase, forty people do not have guns, which means that the ability to break through is greatly reduced, and there is no need to fight with bayonets. The hard power of an army will reflect its national strength, and one of the points is that "there is a gun rate," and the number of guns has a crucial relationship with combat effectiveness.
Combat soldiers have guns, baggage soldiers and non-combatants, as well as the sub-marksmen of the combat arms, ammunition soldiers, whether they have guns or not, all of which determine the combat capability of the army, and they all say that the combat effectiveness of the national army is weak, and it can be seen just by looking at the data on paper that at present, the vast majority of the infantry divisions of the national army are slightly more elite, and the main infantry divisions of a division have seven or eight thousand people, or nearly 10,000 people, and the main infantry divisions of more than 10,000 people, and the vast majority of their rifles are less than 1,000, or 2,000 are rising.
Among these soldiers with guns, the soldiers of the organs and command organs must be deducted, and after the subtraction, how many combat soldiers with guns can there be on the front line?
The Japanese army's gun rate is naturally far higher than that of the national army, but it is only stronger than the national army, and the reserve equipment is miserable. ”
Therefore, before the attack, the 1st Brigade of the 21st Wing selected military caopers, veterans from various squadrons, and formed an "equipment recovery team," which was composed of military caopers, who were experienced in combat, and before the attack was launched, they would set off first to collect the Japanese weapons left on the battlefield.
This improvised "equipment recovery team" did not carry anything other than basic weapons, such as backpacks, water bottles, cartridge belts, and gas masks, in order to make it easier to retrieve weapons from the corpses.
There are not many people, only twenty people, and each person can fill the current vacancy by putting away two 38 rifles, but this place with corpses means that it is not safe, which means that these places are within the range of enemy fire.
In the position of the first brigade, in the tragic eyes of other Japanese soldiers, this equipment recovery team set off in the same tragic atmosphere and walked to the front......
"Tuanza, there is a situation ahead!"
In the village,
Deng Junlin's headquarters took over the defensive position of the teaching brigade, and he took a complete infantry battalion of the 65th Regiment, plus the regimental headquarters of the 65th Regiment, and the troops directly under the regiment, and took the initiative to abandon the position on the right side of the road, that is, the position of the original Mu Chao's second squadron, and the main force was all deployed in the position in the village and at the edge of the village.
Before leaving, the teaching brigade thoroughly repaired the fortifications, leaving Deng Junlin with a complete defense system, and Deng Junlin immediately began to deploy defenses after taking over the position.
The vast majority of the platoon commanders in Deng Junlin's department were cadets trained by the teaching brigade, and the fortifications built by the teaching brigade were also contacted and taught during training in Hunan.
"Look!" Deng Junlin was thinking about the battle situation, but the battalion commander next to him suddenly discovered the situation. Deng Junlin and the others looked in front of the position, and in the open ground, many Japanese troops appeared, and these Japanese troops scattered and advanced in the direction of the position where the 65th Regiment was stationed.
In a short time, these high-speed Japanese infantry advanced to a distance of 500 meters in front of the position.
During the whole process, the Japanese army showed a high level of tactical literacy, alternately covering the advance, dispersing the formation, advancing to 500 meters, advancing to the effective fire range and quickly prostrate on the ground. The tactical movements of the Japanese army were very strange in the eyes of the officers of the 65th Regiment, whether it was fire reconnaissance or tentative attacks, how could they stop at a distance of 500 meters, and they could not understand it when they looked at it with a telescope.
The person was lying on the ground and crawling forward, and he couldn't see clearly when he zoomed in, and Deng Junlin observed for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in the Japanese gourd.
The battalion commander beside Deng Junlin asked, "Tuanzao, do you want to let the 82 mortar fire a few rounds?" ”
"Forget it, pay attention and observe, if the Japanese don't do anything, let's not deal with them, it's good for us to delay it for a while."
"Keep an eye on your men, keep an eye on the soldiers, and don't let them fire their guns indiscriminately!" It's over, Deng Junlin added.
Deng Junlin rejected the proposal to open fire and attack, and ordered his subordinates to stand still, for now, he thought that it was advantageous to keep in contact, be safe, and not fire on both sides, Zhang Wei's teaching brigade left not long ago, and it took time to contact and hand over the follow-up two battalions, which was directly related to the success or failure of the ambush and encirclement, so he and his subordinates took the initiative to ignore it.
The 65th Regiment's practice of not firing just provided convenience for the Japanese troops in the "equipment recovery team"; these Japanese soldiers who picked up guns, within the range of corpses, the light and heavy firepower of the 65th Regiment could certainly hit them, not to mention the mortars that were almost used just now, and the Min 24 heavy machine guns in the hands of the 65th Regiment fired a round of strafing, and it was estimated that they could kill two Japanese soldiers.
The 65th Regiment did not open fire, and the Japanese soldiers who equipped the recovery team were not only happy, but they were also glad that these soldiers were all old fritters, and they were indeed the backbone of attacking in peacetime, but they were actually unwilling to do this kind of work from the bottom of their hearts.
It's okay to die on the battlefield, but to die on "picking up guns", no matter who you are, you won't want to.
Within 500 meters, the corpses left by the Japanese army during the retreat and attack phases were everywhere, and among the people killed in the attack and retreat of Takeda's First Brigade, more than one was left outside the position, and these people fell on the open ground and lay in the field, within the range of fire from both sides.
The corpses quickly rotted under the sun's rays, stinking, stumps, rotten flesh and even maggots, and the Japanese soldiers who searched for equipment only covered their noses and marched hard among the corpses, and many people still regretted why they should unload their excess equipment and not wear gas masks when they set off.
Twenty Japanese soldiers scattered and arched in the pile of corpses according to the distance of the battle formation, and every time they encountered a corpse, they had to smell the smell and pick up the flesh of the corpse, first pick up the rifle, check whether the rifle was complete, and then pick up the grenadier if possible.
Many of the weapons next to the corpses were broken and damaged, and if you touch a corpse, you may not be able to find the gun.
These Japanese soldiers, in the deliberate non-firing of the 65th Regiment, climbed among the piles of corpses, marched among the stinking flesh of the corpses, dismantled limbs, and picked up rifles that were either whole or tattered, with minced flesh and blood......
